Poem

🐰 A checkout so swift, from five to six it leaps,
The workflow now refreshed, its promises to keep,
One version bump, so simple and so clean,
The newest of the tools, a shiny GitHub scene! ✨

47-49: Upgrade to actions/checkout@v6 is approved.

The new version improves credential security by storing credentials in $RUNNER_TEMP instead of directly in .git/config. Your existing persist-credentials: false configuration is fully compatible. Note that Docker container actions with this setup require Actions Runner v2.329.0 or later; GitHub-hosted runners (like ubuntu-latest) are automatically kept up to date.
